Aircraft Camouflage and Markings 1907-1954; Written and Compiled by Bruce Robertson, Edited by D. A. Russell, M.I.Mech. E.; Paintings by W. F. Hepworth; Drawings by J. A. Robson; this is a Harborough Publication; Published by Harleyford Publications Limited, Harleyford, Marlow, Bucks, England; Made and Printed in Great Britain by Groves, Brodie and Co., Limited, Slough, Bucks, England, 1956. From the blurb It is fitting that before many valuable records are lost or destroyed, the markings and insignia of Service Aircraft be permanently recorded, not only for the two World Wars, but also for those intermediate years of uneasy peace. Whereas the Navy s history concerns naval engagements with the ships participating, and the Army s traditions stem from battles and the regiments engaged; the Royal Air Force, our youngest Service, but now our first line of defence, has its pageantry in its aircraft and the squadrons to which they belonged. It is hoped that the Aircraft Enthusiast will find in this book much new useful information. It goes much further than any previous books to show what aircraft markings were; it aims also to explain their significance. Markings are all indicative; a serial number relates to an aircraft s inception, code letters and devices are a guide to the unit, the mode of camouflage to a theatre of operations and many other, smaller markings, reveal much of interest to the enthusiast. This book, 212 pages, is in very good condition in a very good dust jacket that is now enclosed in a protective mylar wrap. A well-made book with hundreds of illustrations, covering not only British aircraft but also Allied and Axis aircraft as well. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 20123a
